But the meaning behind her "forget it" was unmistakably clear.
Mr. Lin shot a glance at Beryl Lin, drew in a deep breath, then turned to Bonnie and said slowly, "Miss Wesley, my granddaughter has been reckless. Her lack of discipline is my failure. Please don't hold it against her. If you don't mind, I, this old man, will apologize on her behalf. I only hope Miss Wesley might show mercy and grant the Lin family a way out."
Having said that, he moved to bow to Bonnie himself.
Bonnie narrowed her eyes, about to speak, when Beryl suddenly cut in, "Don't!"
She glared at Bonnie with seething hatred, her eyes practically spelled out you filthy bitch.
Bonnie abandoned the idea of letting her off out of respect for Mr. Lin. She arched a brow, waiting leisurely.
Beryl's voice squeezed out of her throat, each word gritted with humiliation, "…Fine. I'll apologize to her."
Bonnie raised a brow.
Oh?
Anyone could hear how reluctant and bitter she was.
